WhatsApp New 2 Features On New Update

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging services on the planet with over 2 billion worldwide users. The Facebook-owned platform receives regular updates and comes with new features very often that aim to improve the user experience.

Group voice/video call limit increased

WhatsApp used to allow only four participants for group video and voice calls but that has been changed. The messaging platform has extended the participant limit to eight users to help people connect better during the lockdown. According to WhatsApp Head Will Cathcart, the update will be available to all Android and iPhones users next week.

Multi-Device Support

WhatsApp is reportedly working on a feature that would allow users to use WhatsApp on two different devices simultaneously. Called multi-device support, the Facebook-backed messaging app. For instance, if you are using WhatsApp on your phone, you will be able to use it on your tablet at the same time. Every time a new device is added, a notification will be displayed in the app.

Self-destructing or disappearing messages

The Delete Messages feature on WhatsApp will enable users to set a time limit to their chats. The feature can be enabled either for group or individual chats. For instance, when you switch the Delete Message toggle on for a particular chat, you will be able to set a time limit for your chats. In that case, you can make your message last either for an hour or a week. You also have the option to switch the Delete Message toggle off. WhatsApp is still working on this feature but it was spotted in the Android beta version. There is no announcement about the official roll-out of the feature.
